Deeper! Deeper!

Dive to the depths of my deepest wishes
Beyond the warm waters of ordinary fishes

I'm not Captain Nemo
I don't even know
How to steer a boat
But Submarine is not Nautilus
He guides his own flow

Deeper! Deeper!
Into the depths of a beating heart!
A life lived with cruelty has torn it apart.
Something is frozen, I can see–
Intrusions block a main artery.

Through Drake's Passage—such a treacherous course,
A path through a frozen heart with no remorse.
My father, even until the day he died,
Never even apologized.

It's hard to forgive someone you hate,
Even though he's my father, and I'm just eight.
Ten thousand more leagues I'll have to go–
Beyond the stalactites of my own soul.

Rest in Peace my father.
I bid you well.
And extract myself from living in hell.
